From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry’s history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

(-23) Before fueling the aircraft, the fuel truck, operated by swissport, struck the right navigation light lens cover, breaking the clear plastic only. The driver of the fuel truck stated that he "...did not give enough distance to park the truck correctly."
